Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under various sections of the IPC, including Section 302 for murder and Section 149 for unlawful assembly, affirming that the accused acted in concert to commit the crime. The Court emphasized that the instigation by A1 and the subsequent actions of A2 to A5 constituted a clear case of conspiracy to murder. The judgment of the Madras High Court was confirmed, maintaining the sentences imposed on the accused.
